doing what can be done now

about elms consulting

our mission

elmsconsulting brings together partners across the public, the non proﬁt and the for proﬁt sectors to develop and implement solutions for a sustainable future, driving change in the way we do business.

We are driven by our belief that there can be no more business as usual and we work with partners to do what can be done now- developing models and commercial solutions that address climate change and accelerate sustainable economic and social growth for communities and, in particular, island economies.

what we do

elms consulting works with global clients to accelerate the deployment of market based solutions for sustainable social and economic growth in communities, with a key focus on working with islands to increase their resilience, demonstrating solutions which are both replicable and scalable.

Working with governments to demonstrate will and commitment through vision and policy, we align partners and work programmes to connect vision with execution of low carbon development pathways, identifying the commercial opportunities these present to stimulate the market and catalyse the flow of private capital to support implementation of projects which drive local capacity building and job creation.

elms provides strategic advisory services to governments and non profits, facilitating partnerships and coordinating efforts to ensure the effective utilisation of resources across the non profit sector. Our work with private sector firms focusses on strategic partnership building, market and growth strategy and enables us to…connect a lot of dots!

Through our work, and together with partners, elms is keen to weave the golden thread of social cohesion across all sectors of the economy so that development plans are steered to create fiscal growth, social impact and improved health and well being.

With a strong and extensive network, elms takes a strategic approach to convening events, ranging from small stakeholder workshops to high level summits and conferences that bring together government officials and industry leads. Network engagement focusses on identifying solutions and opportunities, as well as challenges; developing platforms for knowledge share and accountability; and accelerating progress and deal flow.

Through our approach and our work, elms is driven to demonstrate that there can be no more business as usual, and that implementation and scaling of sustainable solutions can and must be driven by private capital.

Our passion for entrepreneurism is underpinned by development of our own projects and solutions for islands, working with local start ups committed to demonstrating the full breadth and depth of natural resources.
